“Why would I buy an old man who is too old to work?
Give me a good reason and see if you can convince me." Although he had decided to buy the old lady, Li Yun still wanted to see what the young man who was begging for mercy would say.
“Madam, although my grandmother can’t work.
I am willing to help her with her share, and I am also willing to give half of my own food to my grandmother, I only ask Madam to buy her." The young man said to Li Yun.
"We are also willing to help the mother-in-law (old lady) and share half of our food rations with her. Please buy her (old lady)." The person chosen by Li Yun knelt on the ground and said to Li Yun.
"Get up! Kneeling down before me is not acceptable.
Don’t do this again in the future. Help the old lady over here.
Go to the front yard and meet the others. I have something to say." Li Yun asked them to stand up.
"Thank you, ma'am!" everyone said to Li Yun.
"Madam Li, let's go to another yard and take a look." Lin Yaren said to Li Yun.
"Okay, let's go." We've already seen so many courtyards, so one more won't make a difference.
Lin Ya Ren took Li Yun and Manager Wu to the last courtyard, where the servants of the former county magistrate lived, and they were also the servants that Lin Ya Ren had scolded at the beginning.
Li Yun looked around but found nothing suitable.
He shook his head at the Lin Ya people and led the way out of the yard.
None of the people inside are easy to deal with. You can tell by looking at their expressions.
They all think of themselves as young ladies and masters. Why did she buy these people back?
Treat it as an ancestor?
Still treat them like young ladies and young masters.
Is she crazy, or is she just bored and looking for something to do?
"Madam Li, there is no one suitable." Lin Yaren still wanted to fight for it.
“Master Lin, you are not kind.
I helped you buy so many people and let you earn so much money.
This is how you repay me, by giving those ugly things to me.
Didn't you see what expressions they had?
They are more powerful than their master, do they want me to serve them?
Lord Lin, do you think I am stupid and easy to deceive?
I must be sick to buy them," Li Yun said angrily.
“This time, Lord Lin went a little too far, even I looked down on him.
Master Lin actually wants Madam Li to buy those people. How can I tell the boss? " Mr. Wu, who was acting as the scenery, could no longer bear to watch and said to Lin Ya Ren.
He had deliberately brought up the boss so that the people of Linya wouldn't introduce those weirdos to Madam Li, but he didn't expect that the people of Linya didn't take it seriously.
"I was wrong, you don't know, they are really difficult to manage.
I took Madam Li there because I thought she could fix them, but I was wrong. Lin Yaren knew he'd been impulsive this time, thinking he could get away with it, but he'd ended up offending Madam Li and Shopkeeper Wu.
If Madam Li didn't buy those people, I would really be in trouble today.
Soon, Li Yun, Shopkeeper Wu, and Lin Ya arrived at the front yard.
The front yard was already full of people. Li Yun looked at them and said, "Everyone, be quiet and listen to me.
I am not the wife of a wealthy family, nor the wife of a landlord, nor the wife of a rich merchant.
I am just a village woman who lives in the countryside. I bought you back home to do farm work.
There is no big house to live in, so if you go back with me, you may have to live in a thatched hut temporarily.
Don't worry, I will build a new house for everyone soon, but the new house may also be a thatched house.
Is this my situation?
Those of you who are willing to stay and go back to farm with me, please stand over here. Those who are not willing, please go back to your yards." Li Yun explained his family's situation to everyone and let them make the decision.
It is up to them to decide whether to go back with her or stay.
Don't wait for people to buy them, only to have to send them back later. It's so troublesome.
After Li Yun finished speaking, those people started to act, and as a result, many people left.
She looked at the people standing in the designated spots and said to them, "Please line up in your original spots. I'll count the number of people."
Soon, those people lined up and were counted. There were only ten guards, seven secret guards who had not left, four shopkeepers, three servants, ten carpenters, ten blacksmiths, three embroiderers, three maids, three cooks, and twenty farmers. Why did so many farmers leave? Aren't they farmers?
Is there any difference between Zhuangzi’s farming and farming in the countryside?
Li Yun really couldn't understand it.
If you can’t figure it out, just stop thinking about it and continue looking at the people below.
There were thirteen people building the house, two in charge, and sixteen people including the former Minister of Revenue who did not leave.
Looking at the people below, there are a total of one hundred and four people.
With these people, anything can be done.
"You all want to stay and follow me, so I'll be frank with you.
I don't want to be sneaky or betray my master.
If found guilty, the offender will be beaten to death or sold.
My request to you is very simple, that is to be obedient and loyal to the Master.
Can you do it?
If you do, I'll buy you back.
If you can't do it, please go back." Li Yun began to lecture those people, hoping that they would understand her requirements.
Give them one last chance to choose whether to go with her or stay.
After waiting for a quarter of an hour and not seeing anyone leave, I knew they had chosen to follow her.
